Lefty' EASIER Than Fuck Barley Prep * 4
    #26445296 - 01/21/20 09:47 PM (4 years, 8 days ago)

Lefty's EASIER Than Fuck Barley Prep



    So after digging for a tek for prepping barley, my results were few and far between... After using a couple different prep methods, I came up with something I thought I'd share with those interested...btw I'm a fan of using paint strainer bags for prep & straining grains..

    This is how I do my barley step by step.. Pretty simple & eazy peezy



    Step 1.. Put a paint strainer in a 5gal bucket, add 5-7qts of barley to the strainer bag.. Twist top of strainer bag and tie(I use a horseknot) the bag closed... You'll want to tie the top tightly, but allow room for grain to swell in the bag
 
    Step 2: Get a big pot and fill it about 3/4 of the way up, then put on stove on HIGH(I have an electric stove).. And wait for water to boil

    Step 3: once water is at a rolling boil add strainer bag with string hanging out of the pot(water will cool a little adding stainer bag).. Once the water is at a rolling boil again set a timer for 12 minutes..
(this is when I start my timer for 12 minutes)

    Step 4: wait for timer to go off, kill heat and let strainer bag sit in pot of water for an additional 3 minutes..


    Step 5: hang bag up over sink to drain for a few minutes before laying barley out to dry

    Step 6: spread barley out on screen until dry to the touch.. Make sure to remove corn & anything that could possibly punture a spawn bag..


    Step 7: Load bags/jars and pc.. Bags(4qts) are sterilized for 3hrs @15-17psi, jars are sterilized for 2hrs...


  I hope this helps someone else out, you may have to tweek cook times a little bit... But this works well for me and I've prepped at least 150lbs of barley this way before doin a write up... total this way of prep takes me roughly 3.5-4.5hrs from start to finish..depending in if I'm sterilizing jars or bags

NOTE:Each strainer bag of dry grain(5qt) should hydrate to 8+qts, don't overfill strainer bags if you use them.. The bags do burst if too much is put in them!!

This is the first barley prep ive seen. I wish my oats would be perfect at 12 minutes. Talk about badass time frame. i tried the oats at 12 And they needed more time. Min for me is 20. Ill try the feed store next time.

Don't see too many people using barley. What kind of price do you get it for? Barely is the king of grain, because its the grain of beer

Prices are so location specific, probably not worth asking haha.

I think people would be surprised I can get clean organic rye for $18 a 50lb bag and oats for $11

I’ll take a look next time. The quick prep seems to be a game changer. Have you noticed any difference in yield compared to other grain?

bump** Great tek and I'm very curious as well. These look awesome. Been switching to wheat as of lately to see how they do but I think I'll give these a try for fun.

Y couldn't get this tek last year. I am still struggling with spawn prep and relatively sure got to do with humidity [too wet/overcooked/etc.etc].

Anyway, out of 100kg barley got only about 20kg right. With no other tek found went with Bods easy AF tek - maybe because done oats first, then got barley as heavier, and was slowly lessening time to come in line with yours [also used hot water as pot could take up to 1 1/2 hour to come to boil only and was dropping to 10 min boil time].

Anyway trying now, using a pillowcase ipo the painter strain thingy as in darkest Africa. Eish shows you, quicker than Dawgy wheat prep.

Kudos to you for sharing

Always wanted a chance to compliment this tek/its creator without necromancing it myself lol.  I had to add (literally) a few minutes to get it to perform optimally for me,  but not much of a deviation.  Still not as fast as WBS, but given that it's one of only two grains I can get bulk locally,  it's quite satisfying.  Without this tek I would have wasted a good bit of time fuckering around.  Hats off,  Lefty :hatsoff:
